The Abominations in that Forsaken fanart look awesome.

Not that the rest of the pic doesn't, but the aboms really stick out to me. I suppose it's because they're so hard to draw well -many artists, myself included, tend to make them too goofy-looking. Easily one of the hardest monsters in Warcraft lore to draw.

Fan arts left me rather unimpressed. I mean the artwork itself is good but the contents were rather meh. I don't need another picture of fantasti-slut #12, whether it's a tribute to Vallejo or whatever.

And yes, I am male. And yes, I am straight. And yes, I have touched boobies before, quite a few of them actually.

A solution for the hunter pets is to give them all some kind of raid buff, or augment hunter abilities so they become raid buffs. For example, a crocolisk could cause your serpent sting to increase all damage caused by poisons on that target by 5% and a boar could increase the attack power of anyone attacking a target afflicted by hunter's mark (not just ranged attack power).

Either that or have them be really useful on some fights. Like have a plainstrider have cleanse available for 5 focus.

When are we going to get sexualised male fanart!

"If you look out of the window as a human being, at nature, all of nature is unconditionally and absolutely beautiful wherever it is. Whether it's a jungle. Whether it's a desert. Whether it's the Arctic wastes. Or even your own back garden. The only ugly things you will ever see when you look out of the window are things made by man." - Stephen Fry

Sadly I'm not on US forums only on EU so can't reply to the thread about 30 min dungeon deserter and douchebag groups... however, now I have some love-hate feeling for the "lfg matchmaking tool". Not sure how it really works, it's how it did for me:

Healer priest, freshly dinged 80, full blues, enter daily heroic.
I got groups of noobs after noobs, flamers, douchebags, people with no idea how to play, people entering the oculus half leaves at start, other half as they see the drakes and go "wtf?", people wiping on Anub Arak, no, not in Coliseum, in the dungeon, standing in pound and running around like headless chicken on add phase.

So I went to farm TOC, FOS, POS normal until I was sick of it.
First, queues were much longer. You get only gearing up people, some odds doing daily normal for gold, rarely someone needs quel quest.
I ran into issues like complaining on gearscores (my usual answer was stfu it's not heroic) or "kick that plate he'll take my gear".
After 3 days of farming I got almost full 219 epics with few level 200, few blues.

A miracle!
I stopped being put in noob groups. It's back to what I encounter on my main, where a noob in the group is anecdotal appearance you laugh about in "worst stuff that happened in your pug" thread it's not 80%-90% of people you're grouped with! (And then it was impossible to complete any instance or it took hours with people being replaced all the time.)

Or, and I asked every friend and guildie going to daily heroic to take me along. His "gearscore" allowed us to get better people to group and also make the run easier.

I always used to believe skill > gearscore, but you rarely meet ICC geared people with no skill.

Why love-hate?
Hate, because when you're in blues, when it's hardest for you, you get bad groups, making it even harder, and you feel discriminated and frustrated.
Love, because once you're through that purgatory, you're saved from worst groups I'd never had idea existed (it can't be that bad can it? oooh yes it can)
